Autumn at Ashburton

Time to start transitioning from summer to the start of Autumn!  The Ashburton community had a great cozy night watching Sheep Detectives on September 25th.  The fun continues in the fall, with the next major event of the PTA Fall Festival!  Get ready for an afternoon (between 3-6pm) packed with fall games, candy, food trucks, a scavenger hunt, a haunted hallway, face painting, and more! Bring the family and celebrate the season with our school community—this year is going to be full of fall fun!

It’s not too early to get involved! Fall Festival Volunteer Signup. From setting up to helping run activities, there’s a role for everyone. Sign up to volunteer and help make this year’s Fall Festival unforgettable! SSL hours are available for student volunteers.

Stay tuned for more details!

Food for Fuel! Support Snacks for All Students!

Nearly a quarter of Ashburton's star students may not have access to a snack from home. The PTA is dedicated to filling this gap and supply the needed snacks - about 175 per school day - to ensure that no child goes without. But we need your help to make this possible!  Please consider donating snacks by using this Sign-Up or donating to the Food for Fuel fund! 

Ashburton Star Store is Open - Volunteer now!

The Ashburton school store, the “Star Store” is coming back this year! The store is sponsored by the PTA and provides students with an opportunity to learn money management in a low-pressure atmosphere. We generally sell fun school supplies like pencils, erasers, and bookmarks near-cost for 25 or 50 cents each, with a maximum spend of $1. We’ll serve two to three grades at a time on Friday mornings outside the media center, starting with 4th and 5th graders on September 4. You can see the full schedule here.

Volunteer to help! It takes at least 2, and up to 5 parent volunteers each week to run the store. It’s an easy way to see your kids during the day. The needs are to help set up at 8:30 outside of the Media Center, assist the students with their purchases from 8:40-9am, and tear down afterwards. We’re usually done by 9:10. Students are welcome to help set up and shop early, but we ask that they go to their classrooms at 8:40. Please sign up here.
